Mother's Day BBQ

For lunch we had a BBQ at Steph and Jeff's house. I think Rich gets off the hook too easy and never has to make me dinner so one of these years I am going to request that he prepares dinner for me on Mother's Day. But it is nice to get together with all the family too!We had hamburgers and hot dogs along with salads and chips and fruit etc. It was a beautiful day and the weather was great for an outside lunch.The food was yummy and we just sat and visited and enjoyed the wonderful weather. We had the most delicious chocolate eclairs for dessert...they were wonderful!Here is Norma holding Nash, she loves her grand kids (all 24 of them) so much and would do anything for them. She is such a wonderful example and is such a caring and giving person. I am so thankful to have her in my life. She did such a wonderful job raising her 8 kids and has so much advice and wisdom to share. I am glad that she lives so close and that Max gets to spend so much time with her while I am at work! Thanks Norma for everything, I love you.

We went and visited with Grandma Cope after dinner and spent some time with her too. She also is an amazing woman. She is so sweet and caring and has such a strong testimony of the church. I am so grateful to have her in my life as well.

Just a thought...

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you obtain happiness.

"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough"

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. " — Albert Camus

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

The bend in the road is not the end of the road,unless you refuse to take the turn.
